The Official ASC Magazine Covers the Betty Luminous Reflector System

Douglas Bankston’s American Cinematographer 4-page feature story traces the unlikely path from Hot Rod Cameras to the development of the Betty Luminous Reflector. It looks at the practical problem that started the experiment, the testing that led back to the qualities of a traditional booklight, and the material science behind a reflector designed to be both soft and directional. The piece also follows Betty into real production use, with cinematographers discussing where it replaces more cumbersome bounce and diffusion setups and what they see in the resulting light.
